Chapter Text
The sunlight peeked in from behind the curtains—a slight draft swayed them slightly, allowing brighter rays in. Everything was perfectly still, save for two bodies breathing gently under the safety of a blanket. The overlap between light and shadow gave them the faintest rose afterglow.
The green-haired saint stirred slightly first. His heavy curls were splayed every which way and pressed against his cheeks. The warmth of the sunrise felt tingly on his skin, although it was his left arm he had trouble feeling.
It was wrapped around his head, much like you would when stretching your arm overhead, but his boyfriend’s sleeping form pinned it against the mattress. Shun leaned his head over to take a peek, and could see the Cygnus saint sleeping soundly on his arm. He was facing Shun and sleeping soundly, his blonde hair slightly less unkempt than Shun’s.
Shun wriggled a bit, but feared he would interrupt Hyoga’s sleep. At least it didn’t seem like he was dreaming about anything exciting in particular.
“I should probably wake him up anyways...”
Shun leaned in closer to Hyoga’s bare chest to press his forehead to his collarbone. They were warm under the blankets so it was harder to tell where their bodies began and ended, although they had foregone any and all clothing over the night.
Shun pressed harder. “Hyoga...” There was a bit of a rumbling in Hyoga’s throat.
The saint finally woke with a quiet snort, rolling over on his back and freeing the Andromeda saint.
“Oh sorry, did I fall asleep on you again?”
Massaging his now free arm, Shun draped himself over Hyoga’s chest. “Yes, you sure did it again.” There was a bit of a smile in his voice.
Hyoga squeezed one of Shun’s hands. “Here.”
Hyoga rolled on his side to face Shun, closing the distance between them. He squeezed him closer, tight enough to feel the outline of his body on his.
Shun could only laugh—Hyoga loved to feel him like this every morning.
Hyoga eased his grip and brushed his hand over Shun’s collarbone, bringing it lower and grazing the scars that ran underneath his chest. “You keep me too warm, it makes waking up hard.”
Shun kissed the underside of Hyoga’s chin gently. “I could spend all day here if we didn’t have to get up.”
Hyoga rubbed Shun’s back. “Maybe that could be arranged.”
Shun let himself melt into Hyoga’s arms. “Hmm, but you might roll over and crush me again.”
“Hmm.” Hyoga brushed Shun’s hair back and pressed his cheek against his. “I’ll try not to.”
Hyoga held Shun and their faces were pressed against the other tenderly. Shun’s face was a bit smaller than Hyoga’s, which made it somewhat easier to fit into the crook of Hyoga’s nose.
Hyoga’s eyes shifted towards Shun with a gentle smile. “I think I’m falling asleep again.”
Shun closed his eyes and sighed. “Just make sure to not squish me this time.”
